The release has been pushed to between September and October.

Ubisoft's upcoming free-to-play FPS, XDefiant, has been delayed by a wee bit. This is due to the fact that the game has been refused certification by both Microsoft and Sony. This moves the release date from the end of August (which has obviously come and go) to anywhere between the middle of September to the middle of October.

The certification process for XDefiant began near the end of July for PlayStation...

Hurrah for a change in release date that isn't a delay.

Games like Skull & Bones and Beyond Good and Evil 2 may have given Ubisoft a bit of a bad reputation for lengthy game delays. So it comes as a bit of a shock today when Ubisoft revealed that the next Assassin's Creed title is not delayed, but rather being released a week earlier than expected.

Assassin's Creed Mirage, Ubisoft's more tightly focused Assassin's Creed sequel, will now release on October 5. This is...

Morel was with Ubisoft since 2009.

Emile Morel, the creative director on Beyond Good and Evil 2, passed away at the age of 40. IGN reports that they spotted a couple of tributes for Morel pop up on LinkedIn.

Former colleague M. Gabrielle Shrager, wrote that Morel was a "cherished colleague for over a decade" and that the two "laughed and wept through good times and bad, and shipped a lot of great games together." Shrager continues to say, "Emile...

Several upcoming titles are not headed to Steam.

Remember how in November 2022, Ubisoft made this big return to Steam? Since the initial release of Assassin's Creed Valhalla on Valve's platform, Ubisoft released several other newer titles. It looked like Ubisoft was playing a bit of catchup with releases on Steam after several of these titles enjoyed long exclusivity periods on the Epic Games Store and Ubisoft's own storefront, Ubisoft Connect.

With this trickle of Ubisoft...

Sales forecast for Q4 cut in half.

Ubisoft is in the midst of a very challenging time for the company. According to the company's latest financial report for the year ending March 31st, Ubisoft's sales are down 15% while net losses rose from $86.9 million (USD) last year to $538 million this year.

When specifically focusing on their fourth quarter performance, Ubisoft shows that their sales totaled just $338 million, which is down 56% compared to the year prior. A lot...

This news comes a month after Ubisoft initially said they were attending the event.

Ubisoft says that they no longer plan on attending E3 2023. This comes just a month after Ubisoft initially said that they would be in attendance at the revamped in-person event. Though companies such as Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo already said they weren't going to E3 2023, Ubisoft is the first major publisher to pull out of E3.

Ubisoft, in a statement issued to VGC, says that the company...

You will need a newer generation console for this, of course.

In honor of the game's fifth anniversary, Ubisoft rolled out a new 60fps patch for Far Cry 5. This update, out now on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S will allow you to run the game at a much higher framerate than what you were used to seeing on consoles.

This 60fps update doesn't seem to include anything else. Meaning, you won't see any next-gen graphical bells and whistles here. I am reading from some users...

And the hits just keep on coming.

Over the weekend, information was shared suggesting that The Callisto Protocol failed to meet sales expectations by a considerable margin. Today we have further information, this time from the NPD Group, that sheds some additional light on just how poorly this new sci-fi horror/shooter performed.

The NPD Group shared their sales information for December 2022 along with their full year 2022 details. The full year isn't all that exciting,...

Ubisoft isn't doing so hot these days.

On Wednesday, Ubisoft said that they are "facing major challenges as the industry continues to shift towards mega-brands and long-lasting titles that can reach players across the globe, across platforms, and business models." That is to say, some of Ubisoft's latest releases didn't perform all that well and the company isn't doing as well as they had expected.

Ubisoft flatly says that their "recent launches have not...

Ra-Ra-Rasputin is back.

Season of the Seraph just launched today for Destiny 2. This new Season brings with it new seasonal activities, weekly missions that lead to a new Exotic weapon, a new dungeon, various PvP updates, "and more."

Starting today, fans of both Assassin's Creed and Destiny can et special in-game cosmetics in each game. In Destiny 2 you will be able to pick up "assassin-themed ornaments for each class" and a few other items that are...

Console players and PC players will be kept separate.

On December 6, Ubisoft will release an update for Rainbow Six Siege that will, among other things, offer players a chance to indulge in both crossplay and cross-progression features. These features will arrive as part of the upcoming seasonal update called Operation Solar Raid. This update will feature other new content such as a new map, playable character, and more.

The reveal came first from Eurogamer, who says that...

This is all you're going to get for a long while.

Ubisoft shared the first tiniest glimpse of the upcoming Splinter Cell remake today as part of a 20th anniversary celebration of the stealth-action franchise. When I say "tiniest glimpse" I really mean it here because all that we were shown are a few pieces of concept art for the game that is probably still a couple of years away from release.

The image was accompanied by a statement from creative director Chris...

Recent behind the scenes changes suggest this may be a possibility.

In 2019, the final Ubisoft game on Steam was released. That game was Trials Rising. Since then, if you were a PC owner and a fan of Ubisoft's output, you were only able to purchase their titles from their first-party Ubisoft Connect or through everyone's favorite storefront, the Epic Games Store. As the months turned to years, it seemed like Ubisoft's return to Steam just wasn't going to happen.

This week,...

There will be playtests starting soon.

Ubisoft just announced another new co-op shooter today. They're calling it Project U. That's about all we know on this project. Well, that and the concept art which can be seen above. The art seems to depict various characters going up against what look like robot insect things.

The announcement came with next to no information about the game itself. Ubisoft says, "Codename 'Project U' explores a new concept of sessions-based...
